Last Chance for Some Hot Dogs, Hep Cats and Veggie Burgers

Scout's Honor Rescue, the group that took in the pit bulls from the SPCA after Hurricane Ike, is launching a new adoption location in the Heights and wants everyone to come out to see Dexter -- one of the few pits the SPCA has ever allowed to live -- and all the other breeds up for fostering or adoption.

The adoption gala will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, February 7 at 1230 Heights Boulevard between 12th and 13th streets. You can get a hot dog or burger, adopt a cat or dog, or just donate to the cause. Besides the adoptions there will be raffle baskets, veggie dogs and burgers and 100 percent of the proceeds go to help the animals, according to spokeswoman Cindy Perini.
